New and updated features in 4.0 (click to view videos):

Activity-based UI (Activities Perspective) — The Activities perspective gives you easy access to your most comman tasks (for example, developing test cases or browsing test reports). Watch the video for a quick tour.
Borrowing iTest licenses for use offline — Borrow an iTest license to continue test development offline. Does not require an active connection to license server.
Emulating responses -- Enhancements to Virtual Testbeds (VTB) — Generate and save multiple emulations for the same step/device within a response map library. Easily edit responses and/or add field substitution to quickly create a more robust emulation engine for comprehensive testing of existing or upcoming features.
External database for iTest reports — Configure iTest to store all execution data on an external database, making it easier to share detailed test report data with team members. tr
Graphical Topology Editor — Create and edit graphical topologies in iTest using industry-standard TBML files.
HPQC -- Artifacts folder — Some test cases may produce artifacts (like log files) during execution. If you specify an Artifacts location, then when iTest publishes the test report to QC, the contents of the specified folder are uploaded to QC as attachments to the report.
HPQC -- Associating reference files with a test — To fully define a test and to describe it for coworkers, you might want to associate files with the test (a config file and a topology diagram, for example).
HPQC -- Auto-renumbering or naming test steps — You can cause iTest to auto-generate step names for the QC test.
HPQC -- Brush up on some important features — iTest supports HPQC parameters, automated sync-up of new test cases, ability to attach reference files to test cases, and collecting and attaching artifacts for test runs. Watch the videos to accelerate your work day!
HPQC -- Creating a test case — While using the New Test Case wizard to create a new test case document, if you select Associate this test case with a test in Quality Center, then the wizard presents additional pages where you configure the connection to the QC server and specify the QC test and test instance to associate with the test case.
HPQC -- Sharing parameters between Quality Center and iTest — When you publish a test case to QC, iTest publishes the parameters as they would be used at runtime – parameters defined in the test case, in the associated testbed (if specified), and in the parameter file (if specified) – all after inheritance/merging.
HPQC -- Storing test case information in Quality Center — You can store project variables (project main, project path, and so on) in test execution issues.
HPQC -- Working with iTest while using Quality Center as the primary user interface — If you start with a new or existing test of type ITEST in QC, add design steps and define custom properties as needed. Then click a button to open the iTest Test Case editor so you can create the associated test case in iTest.
HPQC -- Working with Quality Center while using iTest as the primary user interface — Work on a new or existing executable iTest test case and then publish it to a new or existing associated test in QC.
HPQC Overview -- Working with Quality Center and iTest — iTest is strongly integrated with Quality Center. You can start test execution and monitor the results in both applications.
Parameters -- Managing and verifying source and merge settings — Quickly identify merged parameters and view the values that will be used for execution. Double click to change parameter values and descriptions in grid. Click to reveal source of parameters in test cases.
QuickCalls -- Custom actions in automated tests and during manual testing — You can add custom actions to the built-in iTest actions. QuickCalls are custom actions that you define for a session profile or device. QuickCalls make it easy to execute a predefined set of steps---either as a single QuickCall step in a test case or as a single button click in an interactive session. The result is a simpler, cleaner test case that automation teams can quickly transition to regression.
SSH -- Configuring a session profile — Port forwarding allows iTest to securely connect to devices in a remote network through SSH tunneling.
Synchronization Commands — iTest supports multi-threaded execution: Run tests (of the same session type) in parallel without conflict.
Web Enhancements in 4.0 — Utilize X, Y coordinates, capture page URLs, and perform clear cache / clear cookies operations as part of your web testing. iTest can now also capture cookies and to enable cookie tests. Browser proxy settings can also be configured as preferences.
